GMP later confirmed on social media a man had been arrested at the shopping centre but this arrest was not believed to be connected to the Manchester Arena attack.

Around 400 police officers were deployed to Manchester Arena following reports of an explosion at around 10.33pm on Monday night.

Victims described being thrown by the blast, which scattered nuts and bolts across the floor.

Prime Minister Theresa May said the attack "stands out for its appalling, sickening cowardice".

"This was among the worst terrorist incidents we have ever experienced in the United Kingdom and, although it was not the first time Manchester has suffered in this way, it is the worst attack the city has experienced and the worst ever to hit the North of England."
